when im ready to get another beardie i wanted to get one thats still small. My question is are there better alternatives to buying one from petsmart? or do you think theyd be just as healthy as getting one somewhere else? Quagmire came to us from our co-workers and they saved him from a not nice home, so I have so idea where he came from originally (well except the austrailian desert ). Petsmart had them marked down to 30 usually 60-70 I nearly got one then. I probaly should wait just a bit more.
If all the babies look healthy then you may get a good one from the store. If any of the babies look obviously sick then you'd be taking a chance that even a healthy looking one also may become sick. Other than that you can look for reptile shows in your area [ lots of fun ] or order from a reputable breeder, also lots of fun.
I can recommend some of the best. They are ....Draggintails out of Florida [ Tammy Aldrich ] , Rainbow b.d.s [ Tamara McCormick ] Dragon's Den [ Kevin Dunne ] Dachiu [ Rob + Vickie Dachiu from Pa.] Carolina Classic [ Dave Freeman, S.C ] Fairy tail dragons [ Heather Moye ] Those are all long time breeders. Another one with beautiful dragons is Kids and dragons, they've not been breeding as long as the others but seem to have a good reputation.
